Bloat apps before OTA Update - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone post bloat apps (.apk from system\app ) before the latest OTA update?
I'm pretty sure it will help a lot of users with stock upgrading their M to 4.1.2.
Thx

Yeah, there might be some missing apps. I did a system dump as soon as I got the phone to deodex it, but I may have deleted some apps. Have you tried using the [Razr M Utility] to restore or manually restoring via ADB. Also look [here] they might be in one of these system dumps.

Is it possible to install OTA with root?
I unfreezed all bloat app in Titanium, then tried to install. After restart Droid Logo with exclamation mark

From the other ota updatehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237956
thread, download the OTA update (.zip file )and try to install it from recovery. Errors will be displayed there and you may miss some apps.

Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.
Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?
Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.

I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.
After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....
Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.

I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.

That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

I did not have CWR to start.
I downloaded the update through the "update" menu on the device.
Update failed due to gps.conf being modified.
Reverted to what I thought was old gps.conf, update still failed.
Install CWR
Try update through CWR
Still fail, due to indigo being required in build.prop (this error is caused by CWR)
Commented out the Indigo lines in the update-script in the update
Flashed again
Still failed for gps.conf.
Commented out each line in update-script mentioning gps.conf
flashed again, it worked.
I take you flashed 310 first then 400?
Where is the script located?

Just threw together a video showing how to manually update your Nexus 7 to 4.4 KitKat.
Hopefully this cuts down the questions. You must be on the 4.3 JSS15R build to update.

Yeah it does a signature check of your system files and the ota file, if one does not check out the update won't apply
I get an error when it tries to install the update - something to do with the BasicDreams.apk not being valid (or something along those lines). It then aborts the installation. Not sure if anyone else is running into this problem, or if there's something I can do to fix it. I'm running stock, but rooted, and I've switched back to the standard recovery image from TWRP to try the install.
Thanks!
Thanks man, I've never used the stock recovery before, so had no clue how to get past the broken robot screen. Your video helped a lot!
Does anyone know the way to do this on a Mac?
Question?
Hello,
I can't get the side load to work because it no longer recognizes my nexus 7 when i enter recovery mode? is there a quick fix for this?

Sorry goober, I answered to the wrong post by accident. I intended to answer to the guy asking about the recovery mode.
But I think the Mac procedure should be pretty similar, the archive download from Google contains the same tools for Mac. Just not sure how driver installer works on Mac.

Still not having any luck. I can sideload the file onto the tablet fine, but when it gets to the "Verifying current system" stage I get an error saying:
"/system/app/BasicDreams.apk" has unexpected contents
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I've tried this several times and keep getting the same result. I'm rooted, but running the stock kernel and rom, and using the stock recovery. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Will this work on a stock rooted N7?

4.4.3 GPE update DO NOT UPDATE (edit:Fixed)

The camera won't connect anymore, Wi-Fi won't turn on and the SD card wont mount. How did this get approved by google??
Edit:
To get the OTA to work properly and flash the correct kernal, your CID must be changed to GOOGL001. If you have the GPE device, you don't need to do anything, but if you have a converted GPE then you must change your CID if you want OTA's. This was not made clear in the RUU thread, it was mentioned that changing your CID was optional if you had one of the listed CID's, but it is not optional, but a requirement if you want the OTA's to work.
Everyone that has changed there CID's reflashed the OTA and everything flashed fine, whereas anybody that had not modified there CID had the problem with the kernal.

Then problem should be wiped/not wiped, I think. Anyway, trying with this error stuff is always an excited challenge with me, try to deal with it like that to reduce percentage of throwing your devices away .
Also you need to be FULLY stock.. that includes the stock kernel. If you are running a custom kernel some kernels flash libs and modules. EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE STOCK

I figured out the problem. I flashed the new RUU that graffix posted with 4.4.3. The Kernal in the OTA is not updating like it should, it stays on the kernal that was made in March. The new Kernal has a date of Thursday May 22nd. So for whatever reason, the OTA is not flashing the new Kernal, which is why all those things were broken. If you use the RUU update, it will flash the new kernal, and everything works as it should.
You'll know right off the bat at first boot. With the OTA, the boot animation hangs and it hangs on the home screen. With the RUU flash, everything is buttery smooth.
Something tells me this problem is occurring for people who actually have a retail M8 that they dirty-flashed using a GPE RUU.
Does anyone with an honest-to-God GPE that was purchased from Google have this problem? If so, this is huge.

How to root (SGP561) Z2 Tablet Verizon, new update 23.0.1.E.0.208 (4.4.4)

Hi guys, finally I've found a way to get the latest update 23.0.1.E.0.208 (4.4.4) without losing root on this tablet.
The method is the same as the method here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155), but we will use the files for Xperia Z2 Tablet Verizon instead of files for Xperia Z2.
First, you MUST BE on an older version (17.1.D.0.437) with root and XZDualRecovery
You need these files:
1. New 23.0.1.E.0.208 update FTF file (you can use XperiFirm to get it)
2. PRFCreator v0.5.zip (I tried the later version v0.8 but it didn't work, so better to use v0.5)
3. Latest stable SuperSU update package
4. XZDualRecovery flashable patched version (in the attachment) (note that the original version from [NUT] will not allow you to mount system rw)
Then follows step 4 to 11 in the instructions in the above thread for Xperia Z2 and replace all the files for Xperia Z2 with the files you've just got.
Good luck!
thanks for this, will try it this week...
noticed any issues with this update on the verizon tab?

My internet connection sucks. It takes long to upload large files.
Trying to do this, however it seems we need a custom recovery already installed. Trying to install the XZDualRecovery from the installer file I downloaded but it just hangs at libdvm opened. Any other way to install a custom recovery so I can follow the rest of the guide to get my replacement tab rooted?

Sounds to me like you need to flash the old ftf first, then root and then install the custom recovery. Root only works on the older firmware linked above.

Thanks, I thought you had to have a recovery already installed for that. Downloaded everything I need plus old FTF file, can't seem to get it to work right. Think I am having driver problems even tho it works fine in fastboot mode through ADB. Can't get Sony PC companion to work either even tho I've downloaded pretty much every driver I can find for it. I'm on Windows 8.1
I never managed to get it to work on windows 8.1 by had a windows 7 laptop laying around and that worked fine. I would recommend finding a non 8.1 computer. Good luck.

Got it working. I didn't know I had to have the unknown sources checked. Also I didn't realize I was plugged into a 3.0 port in the back of my PC, so that didn't help.
Now that I'm on the old version and rooted, I saw some people had success with updating to the newest update for VZW and keeping root. Can anyone else confirm this? I have TWRP and everything on my HTC, but my tablet I would rather not mess with it as much. The steps in this guide are pretty involved.

That's what i Thinking, My Opinion... For Sure the Hardware have some little modifications to can be accepted on some markets but all brands use a generic platform from Gionee [if you want to check that.. Check the name of the System application called "System Manager"... Check events names of APK using ES Task Manager(With ROOT on section Startup Manager Clicking on name of this process on list) the name of event process is -> com.gionee.softmanager.xxx.xxx.xxx ] )

when i went to wipe it got stuck on formatting cache
then i just rebooted which led to cache and data not mounting
then i tried my backup and on the second try my restore took
so then i gave trying to flash miui another try and everything worked without a hitch this time lol
and im quite pleased with how miui is running, only bug ive seen is lock screen time and status bar time are different.

I'm downloading the ROM. Is there a specific TWRP to use or do they all work?

Where did you find MIUI, and how did you flash it? Been looking for a ROM for a while.

USE YANDEX TRANSLATOR to translate the page from Russian language ;D
MiUi v6 (OutDate maybe) -> Link (Replay #724)
MiUi v6 5.3.4 -> LINK (Replay #709 - Updated Replay via Edit)
... How to install??? Maybe via CWM or TWRP i think (i Doesn't test already.. without time for while)

My last question. Which TWRP do I install? Is there a specific one? What do you recommend? I know you haven't tried yet, I just don't want to screw up. Haha.

When I flash the recovery using rashr, nothing happens. What did you do exactly?

... try re-flash the recovery from official TWRP Sources (Use the 2.8.5.0 ... version 2.8.6.0 is unstable) -> LINK
I used 2.8.5.0...downloaded it from the links dvdwx provided in another thread
Are you sure you have root? The unclemobile tool was doing the same thing to me...

I did root, but I couldn't get TWRP 2.8.5.0 to flash. That's what I need. That or CWM.
